摘要: Novel polymeric hydrogel scaffolds for corneal epithelium cell culturing based on blends of chitosan with some other biopolymers such as hydroxypropylcellulose, collagen and elastin crosslinked genipin, a natural substance, were prepared. Physicochemical biomechanical properties these materials determined. The in vitro culture experiments cells have indicated that membrane prepared from chitosan–collagen blend (Ch–Col) provided the regular stratified growth cells, good surface covering increased number layers. Ch–Col membranes are therefore most promising material among those studied. performance is comparable amniotic which currently recommended clinical applications.
